This pyramid box ornament is a cute alternative to a traditional advent calendar. Simple Pyramid Box Ornaments have been adapted to make an advent garland. A number has been added to each box to mark the countdown to Christmas. I stamped the number onto a piece of card and attached this to each box. If you don't have the right stamps, you could handwrite the numbers or print the numbers from the computer.
Small pyramid boxes are simple to make using this free printable template - Pyramid Box Template. The smaller size has been used to make this advent garland. The pyramid box ornament is quick to create, however for best results it is a good idea to score along the fold lines to give clean edges to the box.
